Pottermania Around The World

Harry Potter fans wait in the rain outside Waterstones book store in London July 20, 2007, ahead of the release of the latest novel "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." The bookstore on Piccadilly in central London is a traditional hub of Pottermania. An assortment of wizards, witches from as far afield as Finland and the U. S. staked out their places on the sidewalk days before the midnight Saturday opening.
